Sobre IBD

Though Christopher Marlowe originally penned Hero and Leander, George Chapman completed the work after Marlowe’s untimely death. This mythological narrative recounts the ill-fated love between Hero, a priestess of Venus, and Leander, a youth who braves the sea to meet her. Chapman’s contribution shifts the tone, adding a more moralistic and reflective dimension to Marlowe’s sensual and passionate style, creating a blend of romance and tragedy that echoes through the ages.
